Even at 100+: Acute Exercise Modulates Inflammatory Pathways in Centenarians Open
Centenarians exhibit remarkable disease resilience despite chronic low‐grade inflammation. We investigated the inflammation‐related proteome response to acute exercise in seven centenarians (100–104 years). Exercise downregulated 52 protei…
Physical exercise intervention in glycogen storage disease IIIa: Feasibility and multisystem benefits Open
Glycogen storage disease III (GSD‐III) is caused by an inherited deficiency of the glycogen debranching enzyme. Affecting the liver, muscle and heart, GSD‐IIIa is the most common GSD‐III subtype. We evaluated the feasibility and safety of …
Cyclists do not need to incorporate off-bike resistance training to increase strength, muscle-tendon structure, and pedaling performance: Exploring a high-intensity on-bike method Open
This randomized controlled trial compared the effectiveness of high-intensity off- and on-bike resistance training (RT) in well-trained cyclists. Thirty-seven cyclists incorporated into their cycling routine a 10-week RT only differing in …
Validity and Reliability of Wind Speed Calculated by Notio in Comparison with a Hot-Wire Anemometer Open
Optimizing aerodynamic efficiency is crucial in competitive cycling, where aerodynamic resistance significantly limits performance. Devices like Notio have emerged to calculate the coefficient of drag area (CDA) considering dynamic pressur…
Validity and Reliability of Wind Speed Calculated by Notio in Comparison with a Hot-Wire Anemometer Open
(1) Background: Notio calculates coefficient of drag area (CDA) considering dynamic pressure data calculated by an integrated Pitot-static tube. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of Pitot-static tube calc…
Exercise Intolerance in McArdle Disease: A Role for Cardiac Impairment? A Preliminary Study in Humans and Mice Open
Introduction Whether cardiac impairment can be fully discarded in McArdle disease—the paradigm of “exercise intolerance,” caused by inherited deficiency of the skeletal muscle–specific glycogen phosphorylase isoform (“myophosphorylase”)—re…
High-dose short-term creatine supplementation without beneficial effects in professional cyclists: a randomized controlled trial Open
High-dose short-term creatine supplementation seems to exert no consistent beneficial effects on recovery, body composition or performance indicators during a strenuous training period in professional cyclists.
The Influence of High-Intensity Work on the Record Power Profile of Under-23, Pro Team, and World Tour Cyclists Open
Background : Durability (ie, the ability to attenuate the decline in performance after accumulated work) has been identified as a performance determinant in elite cyclists. The aim of the present study was to compare durability in elite cy…
Torque–Cadence Profile and Maximal Dynamic Force in Cyclists: A Novel Approach Open
We aimed to determine the feasibility, test–retest reliability and long-term stability of a novel method for assessing the force (torque)-velocity (cadence) profile and maximal dynamic force (MDF) during leg-pedaling using a friction-loade…
Dose–response effect of pre-exercise carbohydrates under muscle glycogen unavailability: Insights from McArdle disease Open
CHO intake exerts beneficial effects on exercise capacity in McArdle disease, a condition associated with total muscle glycogen unavailability. Some of these benefits are dose dependent.
Pre-sleep protein supplementation in professional cyclists during a training camp: a three-arm randomized controlled trial Open
Protein supplementation, whether administered before sleep or earlier in the day, exerts no beneficial effects during a short-term strenuous training period in professional cyclists, who naturally consume a high-protein diet.
Laboratory-based determinants of simulated time trial performance in cyclists Open
Different laboratory-based variables are individually associated with cycling performance, but scarce evidence exists on which of them, when all assessed in combination, could best explain cycling performance. The present study aimed to ex…
Power Profile Index: An Adjustable Metric for Load Monitoring in Road Cycling Open
Workload is calculated from exercise volume and intensity. In endurance sports, intensity has been measured using heart rate or RPE, giving rise to load indexes such as sRPE or TRIMP. In cycling, the advent of power meters led to new index…
Comparative analysis of endurance, strength and body composition indicators in professional, under-23 and junior cyclists Open
Purpose: To compare endurance, strength and body composition indicators between cyclists of three different competition age categories. Methods: Fifty-one male road cyclists classified as either junior ( n = 13, age 16.4 ± 0.5 years), unde…

Comparison of Different Recovery Strategies After High-Intensity Functional Training: A Crossover Randomized Controlled Trial Open
We aimed to determine whether voluntary exercise or surface neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) could enhance recovery after a high-intensity functional training (HIFT) session compared with total rest. The study followed a crossov…
Relationship Between Critical Power and Different Lactate Threshold Markers in Recreational Cyclists Open
Purpose: To analyze the relationship between critical power (CP) and different lactate threshold (LT2) markers in cyclists. Methods: Seventeen male recreational cyclists [33 ± 5 years, peak power output (PO) = 4.5 ± 0.7 W/kg] were included…
Validity of the Favero Assioma Duo Power Pedal System for Measuring Power Output and Cadence Open
Cycling power meters enable monitoring external loads and performance changes. We aimed to determine the concurrent validity of the novel Favero Assioma Duo (FAD) pedal power meter compared with the crank-based SRM system (considered as go…
Performance Parameters in Competitive Alpine Skiing Disciplines of Slalom, Giant Slalom and Super-Giant Slalom Open
